Iteration in knitting

The first is that the “process of drawing is a really live process and not like a dead thing, ‘Oh my God I can’t change anything because I made that line five minutes ago.’” If we didn’t learn this from all of the gestural drawings we did in college, I don’t think we ever will. This is, I believe, what paralyzes a lot of people who do not have artistic training (or even artistic ambitions) when they think of drawing. They have this idea that your first line has to be perfect. Not so.

I love this idea of iteration — for me in my writing, I gave up the idea of perfection at the first word long ago, but it was only when I did that I became a better writer. Revision is the story of my life 🙂
